Bradman/Miller 'From The Hill'
Our price: Enquire for price

Saturday, November 15, 1947 was a brilliant summer’s day in Sydney.

The deep-seated jubilation from the end of the war just two years prior, the high, blue sky produced a euphoric mood at the Sydney Cricket Ground. But on that afternoon, what contributed most to the air of gaiety and celebration was the sight of 13 figures clad in white scattered across the green lushness. The cricket was a reaffirmation of normality after the turmoil and uncertainty of the depression and the war years, but this afternoon in particular, a sense of expectation was building… Australia’s hero Don Bradman was at the crease, and at the other end, ‘the nugget’… Keith Ross Miller, Australia’s greatest ever all-rounder.  Miller was on (score), and playing his normal cavalier innings … but all eyes were on Bradman that afternoon. His score stood on 99. But this was to be no ‘ordinary’ century from the Don, the expectation was at a peak because with his next scoring stroke, Don Bradman would record his one hundredth first class hundred. Amarnath of India loped in and pitched the ball on leg… Bradman leant forward, pushed the ball to mid-on calling Miller through … and history was made.       

Now, a very special limited edition masterpiece has been released, featuring the personal signatures of Sir Donald Bradman and Keith Miller.

'From The Hill, Bradman-Miller'  is a superbly realised limited edition print mastered from an original oil painting that captures an Australian sporting milestone with a rich palette… blending technical skill and a relaxed pleasing style.

This vibrant work of art by renowned artist Wesley Walters brings to life in warm, humanist tones that summer afternoon of The Don’s one hundredth hundred at the SCG. Fans crowd the famous Hill to witness their hero push the ball to mid-on… and score a century of centuries in first class cricket.

One-Of-A-Kind Opportunity

This is a true collectable rarity. Never before have Sir Donald Bradman and Keith Miller personally signed a limited issue collectable together (excluding team-oriented items). 'From The Hill, Bradman-Miller' will now remain the only piece in existence. For collectors who prize rarity above all else, 'From The Hill, Bradman-Miller'  is assured of its place as the only jointly signed collectable piece featuring these two uncommon Australians. Only 52 were made available. (That number corresponds with the number of Tests played by Sir Donald Bradman.)

Lavish Presentation

As befitting this striking work of art, the framing has been designed to be commensurate with its stature.  Four separate matboards frame the central work of art, along with an inlaid gold filet – all encompassed within a stunning timber frame that is substantial in size and depth. The overall dimensions are a truly impressive 1370mm x 920mm. Imagine this magnificent showpiece in pride of place in your home, or at work.  

Fully Endorsed   

From The Hill, Bradman-Miller is fully authorised and licensed by the Bradman Museum at Bowral. It comes with a matching, numbered Certificate of Authenticity and Limitation issued by the Museum and hand-signed by the Museum Director, certifying the originality of both signatures along with the limitation of the edition.
